A Gimmick or an Innovation? – Terry Odell
A Gimmick or an Innovation?
A while back, for a Kill Zone Blog post, I talked about whether or not getting creative with fundamentals like punctuation was a good idea.
Recently, my daughter handed me a book she thought I might like because it was a mystery. It was huge–over 700 pages. Traditionally published, but its first edition came out in Canada. I don’t know if that makes a difference.
